All hands— Much thanks to the following who have helped make Trawler Buy-Sell-Trade self-sufficient for another year. There have been additional donations. We’ll catch up with them at the end of November. Much thanks to all! —Georgs Georgs Kolesnikovs Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering since 1997 http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com <http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/> Your host at TrawlerCrawler.net <http://trawlercrawler.net/> since 2009 http://www.trawlercrawler.net <http://www.trawlercrawler.net/> David Clark Earl Fields Herb Seaton James Batistick James Holley John Wheeler Lawrence Ancypa Mark Ketcham Marvin Storey Rex Thompson Robert Stocker Ron Montague Sharon Heydlauff Starling William Hamilton > Trawler Buy-Sell-Trade is a free service to the trawler community--but it does cost money to operate the board, and requires volunteer help. > > Since inception, I have happily covered the costs myself most years, because I have the same passion you do for messing about in boats. And I do want to keep for-sale messages off the main Trawlers & Trawlering List. > > But I no longer own and operate Trawler Fest, so there is not even faint business motivation for me to continue to underwrite the costs. > > My book-keeper tells me I should aim to make BST self-supporting by making an annual call for donations from the people who use it--especially the brokers and others who stand to benefit financially from BST. > > So, here I am: If you find BST interesting and valuable, and if want it to continue and grow, please lend a hand by contributing toward expenses. A donation of just $10 or $25 a year will prove immensely helpful. > > To make a voluntary contribution via PayPal or a credit card, please go to > > http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/supportbuyselltradelist.html <http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/supportbuyselltradelist.html> <http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/supportbuyselltradelist.html <http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/supportbuyselltradelist.html>> > > On the same page, you'll find an address if you wish to contribute by check or money order. > > Have no fears, you won't be badgered about making a donation. I'll report to you monthly only on fund-raising progress, and publicly thank those who have stepped forward. > > Thank you for your help.
